A beautiful shrubby tree, Sitka Alder grows to 15’ tall and 10’ wide.

It is found at high elevations along the coast from central Alaska to California and east across North America in USDA zones 2-8.

In its native habitat this tree is invaluable. It grows quickly to form thickets that provide wildlife habitat. Furthermore, it improves the soil through nitrogen fixation and its rich leaf litter, it stabilizes steep slopes, avalanches rarely damage it and it slows the flow of water during spring snowmelt.
